Nissan’s Ongoing CVT Transmission Problems
No discussion of Nissan lemon law claims is complete without addressing the elephant in the room. Nissan’s continuously variable transmission has been one of the most widely reported defects in the automotive industry for years. Owners across nearly every Nissan model line have reported issues such as severe shuddering, hesitation during acceleration, slipping between gears, and complete transmission failure at highway speeds.
Despite settling multiple class action lawsuits totaling hundreds of millions of dollars over CVT-related complaints, Nissan continues to equip its vehicles with this transmission technology. Models that have been particularly affected include the:
- Altima
- Sentra
- Murano
- Rogue
- Pathfinder
- Versa
- And more
So long as your Nissan has gone through repeated transmission repairs without a permanent fix, it is worth exploring whether your vehicle qualifies for relief under California’s lemon law.
Other Frequently Reported Nissan Defects
While the CVT transmission dominates the conversation, it is far from the only reason Nissan owners pursue lemon law claims. Other commonly reported problems include:
- Engine stalling and sudden loss of power
- Electrical system malfunctions
- Rearview camera display failures
- Dashboard warning lights that persist after repairs
- Steering and suspension abnormalities
- Infotainment system freezes and software glitches
- Brake system defects
Any defect that substantially impairs the safety, functionality, or value of your vehicle could form the basis of a lemon law claim, provided the manufacturer has been given a reasonable chance to fix it.

Does My Nissan Qualify as a Lemon in Los Angeles, CA?
Per the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (Civil Code § 1793.2), which contains the California lemon law, your Nissan may qualify as a lemon if the manufacturer has been unable to repair a substantial warranty defect after a reasonable number of attempts. California also creates a legal presumption in your favor if, within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles of ownership, any of the following has occurred:
- A non-safety defect has been the subject of four or more failed repair visits
- A safety defect has been repaired unsuccessfully at least twice
- Your vehicle has spent a total of 30 or more days in the shop for warranty-related repairs
Note that the 30 days do not need to be in a row. Further, keep in mind that you can still potentially win your claim even if your vehicle doesn’t meet these specific requirements.
What Types of Compensation Can I Recover in a Nissan Lemon Law Case?
California’s lemon law provides several potential remedies. If your claim is successful, Nissan may be required to offer you a full repurchase of the vehicle, minus a mileage deduction for the time before you first reported the problem. Alternatively, Nissan may be obligated to provide a comparable replacement vehicle.
In situations where the manufacturer’s failure to act was intentional, you may also recover civil penalties of up to twice your actual damages. These penalties exist to discourage manufacturers from dragging their feet and ignoring legitimate consumer complaints.
How Long Do I Have To File a Nissan Lemon Law Claim in California?
Since Nissan has opted into the new procedures established by Assembly Bill 1755 and Senate Bill 26, specific deadlines now govern your claim. You must file your lawsuit within one year of your vehicle’s express warranty expiring, and no later than six years from the date the vehicle was originally delivered. Also, if you intend to seek civil penalties, you are also required to send Nissan a written pre-suit notice at least 30 days in advance. Mandatory mediation also may be required in some cases.
These procedural requirements make it critical to consult with an attorney with our legal team as soon as you can. Missing a single deadline could cost you the right to pursue your claim entirely.
What Does It Cost To Hire a Nissan Lemon Law Attorney in Los Angeles?
California law usually requires the manufacturer to cover your attorney’s fees if your lemon law case is successful. That means hiring a lawyer does not have to come at your own expense. My Lemon Firm takes Nissan lemon law cases on a contingency basis, which means that you can potentially win your claim without paying anything up front or out of pocket.
